Not true. 70% of Somalians in The Netherlands are still on welfare after 2 years. Most other Africans, most Middle-Eastern types etc all hover between 25 and 50%. In comparison, most Europeans hover around 1-5%. And this is from the CBS (Central Bureau of Statistics), which is a government institution.

Edit: guys.. just read the link or come with rebuttals instead of this lame cop-out when facing the truth. I thought we are people of science and facts here?
- scatters 10y agoDoes that count people legally barred from working (e.g. refugees)?
- jorvi 10y agoNo, they are former refugees ('voormalige asielzoekers').
- cplanas 10y agoNetherlands is a different country that applied very different immigrant policies. Pretty bad ones, I would say. The fact that Netherlands immigration policy may be a failure does not imply anything about the US one, or about immigration as a whole.
- xapata 10y agoHow many Somalian immigrants are on welfare after 5 years? 10 years? What's the economic productivity of those Somalians -- not just the taxes paid, but the profit made by their employers? What's the cost of that welfare? How many citizens are on welfare in an average year? I think we could use more facts before coming to a conclusion.
